As of this writing, there are four ways that WeWard counts steps; select one by clicking on the cogwheel in the upper-right corner of the screen in the app.

According to WeWard:

Google Fit is the recommended choice for Android users
Apple Health is the best choice for iPhone or Apple Watch

WeWard also has its own proprietary step counter called WeWard Sense. Or you can sync your WeWard account with Fitbit to count only Fitbit-tracked steps.

The step counter works even when you are offline. But you must be online to “convert your steps” into Wards.

It’s difficult to say, because there is no direct currency conversion for a Ward. The rewards offered by WeWard change over time and vary from country to country.

Also, the WeWard app operates a system of levels and thresholds in which you can earn higher levels of Wards—and rewards—based on how much you walk and use the app.  At each level, you will encounter thresholds that change and adapt based on your progress in the app, and which you need to reach in order to earn Wards.

In other words, you can be promoted to a higher level (or go down to a lower level), not unlike the system of promotion and relegation utilized by international football leagues. The details of WeWard’s system of leveling up are explained here.

To unlock a threshold and receive your reward in Wards, you must tap the “convert my steps” button. You can earn up to 25 Wards per day by converting your steps, although the daily limit of Wards that can be obtained by walking may increase.

All the current ways to redeem Wards are found on WeWard’s Redeem page. The most popular reward options are cash (which can be transferred via PayPal or Venmo) and gift cards.

You can also use Wards on sweepstakes entries, to get discounts on select products, or you can donate Wards to charity.

It’s worth downloading WeWard and giving it a try, especially if you do a lot of walking on a daily basis. It’s an easy way to earn a little extra income, as all you need to do is walk and “convert your steps” before midnight each day.

That said, most casual users will likely earn less than $100 a year with WeWard, putting it in line with many other get paid to walk apps. Especially dedicated WeWard users—those who also play games, take surveys, and purchase from the brands featured in the app—can earn much more. The free product samples offered in-app may also be of interest.

If your use of the WeWard app is limited to walking and converting your steps, you probably won’t earn more than $100-$125 per year in cash and/or gift cards. But if you also play games, take surveys, and purchase from the brands featured in the app, earning potential is much higher.

To maximize the amount of money you earn by walking, download and use multiple ‘get paid to walk’ apps simultaneously. If you like WeWard, consider using GeoSmile, Cashwalk, Evidation and Million Steps, too.
